bool YarpPluginSettings::open ( SharedLibraryFactory & factory )

Initialize a factory object based on the hints available.

Parameters

factory the factory to initialize

Returns: true on success

Definition at line 83 of file YarpPlugin.cpp.

◆ readFromSearchable()

bool yarp::os::YarpPluginSettings::readFromSearchable	(	Searchable &	options,
		const std::string &	name
	)

inline

Configure settings from a configuration file or other searchable object.

Parameters

options	configuration object to read from
name	fallback name for plugin if not in configuration

Returns: true on success

Definition at line 119 of file YarpPluginSettings.h.

◆ reportFailure()

void YarpPluginSettings::reportFailure ( ) const

Definition at line 188 of file YarpPlugin.cpp.

◆ reportStatus()

void YarpPluginSettings::reportStatus ( SharedLibraryFactory & factory ) const

Give a human-readable report of the status of a factory.

Parameters

factory the factory about which to report

Definition at line 157 of file YarpPlugin.cpp.

◆ setClassInfo()

void yarp::os::YarpPluginSettings::setClassInfo	(	const std::string &	class_name,
		const std::string &	baseclass_name
	)

inline

Set the information about the class and the base class constructed by this plugin.

Parameters

class_name	the name of the class
baseclass_name	the name of the base class

Definition at line 73 of file YarpPluginSettings.h.

◆ setLibraryMethodName()

void yarp::os::YarpPluginSettings::setLibraryMethodName	(	const std::string &	dll_name,
		const std::string &	fn_name
	)

inline

Set the name of the library to load and the method name to use as a factory.

The library can include a complete path, or be left to the operating system to find according to the regular search path for libraries. Prefixes and suffixes such as "lib", ".dll", ".so", ".dylib" may be omitted.

Parameters

dll_name	the name of the shared library to load
fn_name	the name of the method within that library to use as a factory

Definition at line 47 of file YarpPluginSettings.h.

◆ setPluginName()

void yarp::os::YarpPluginSettings::setPluginName ( const std::string & name )

inline

Set the name of the plugin to load.

If a corresponding YARP configuration file can be found, this may be a sufficient hint for YARP to fill in everything else.

Parameters

name	the name of the plugin to load

Definition at line 61 of file YarpPluginSettings.h.

◆ setSelector()

bool yarp::os::YarpPluginSettings::setSelector ( YarpPluginSelector & selector )

inline

Use a selector to find a plugin or plugins.

If the name of the plugin has already been set, the selector will be used to increase what is known about the plugin.

Parameters

selector the yarp::os::YarpPluginSelector to use

Returns: true if a section about the plugin was found

Definition at line 90 of file YarpPluginSettings.h.

◆ setVerboseMode()

void YarpPluginSettings::setVerboseMode ( bool verbose )

Should messages be printed showing what searches YARP is trying out?

Parameters

verbose verbosity flag

Deprecated:: since YARP 3.4
